1)---SEAN PAYTON---Any doubt? Payton, who has been head coach of the Saints for the last 11 seasons (10, if you exclude 2012, the Bounty Gate year), from 2006-oresent, has a career record of 94-66. He guided the Saints to their first-ever NFC Championship Game appearance in 2006, and their first-ever Super Bowl appearance, and win, in 2009. Payton is the winningest coach in team history, has the best winning percentage (.588), and a Super Bowl crown. Not much of an argument here.

2)---JIM MORA---He was coach of the Saints for 11 seasons, 1986-1996, compiled a career record of 93-74, including four playoff appearances, the first in team history.

3)---JIM HASLETT---He was head coach of the Saints for six seasons, accumulating an overall record of 45-51. Haslett was coach of the Saints for their first-ever playoff win, following the 2000 season. In 6 seasons as coach of the franchise, his team's only had two losing records.

4)---BUM PHILLIPS---In 5 seasons as head coach, Bum's teams went a combined 27-42. If not for the Saints blowing the 1983 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Rams, Bum would have been the first coach to guide the Saints to the playoffs.

5)---DICK NOLAN---Yeah, he was head coach during the dismal 1980 campaign, one in which the Saints went 1-15. Still, Nolan, who was coach of the team from 1978-1980, ranks tied for 5th in wins (15), and 5th in winning percentage (.341). When in doubt, go with the numbers.
